I think they should find a really slow and painful way for him to die, or perhaps better a really slow and painful way to live

I don't know why the article worries about the impartiality of the jury, there is nothing unclear about the case, i wish i could get that guy, i would make sure he is not smiling, i hope they put him in prison instead, and let the prisoners tear him to pieces

I love you, little lewis, and i will never leave you. We are the same. You brighten my day, and i will make sure that i brighten yours. Hugs and kisses.

In my first post to this thread, I said he took 4 lives in totality; that's not true. He admittedly murdered 2 little girls and is suspected in the murder of another little boy. Each of who I'm sure suffered similarly to Shasta and Dylan.

Yes, other inmates would do their best to make his life hell if he went to jail, but I don't think it would make a difference to what this person walking the earth is. I happend to agree with the prosecutor that he would continue to be a danger, even in jail.

He will die for his crimes, but not soon enough. I don't want revenge, it's too costly and time consuming. I simply want him gone.

The death penalty is known as society's means of seeking revenge. I feel just as angry as anyone here, but I simply cannot support the death penalty because of it's many flaws, and also, I can't see how you can justify killing a man for his own crimes of murder.

"An eye for an eye" doesn't work. It's just like the law is trying to be passed in the Supreme Court that anyone who rapes a child is eligible for the death penalty. Do you understand how many perps who wouldn't normally murder the child they raped, who will now murder that child, because he/she is a witness, and he's getting the death penalty if caught?

I don't know. I don't claim to have all the answers, and the death penalty is a topic that will be discussed and debated by anyone and everyone as long as it is instituted in our laws. I can tell you that in a report, dating back to 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court noted that an average of 3 countries a year had abolished the death penalty. Currently, there are 122 countries who do not use capital punishment.Many, many of these countries have a far lower crime rate than the U.S. Go figure!

I hear what your saying Rich and 95% of the time I would agree with you or at least take the argument to heart. I am not a death penalty advocate, I am very torn over its use. I am also one who rarely believes in absolutes. While more often than not it is right to believe and live by the statement that all life is precious and should be preserved, there are exceptions to every rule. I believe this creature is the exception. What he did was no accident; it was not a one time loss of his mind. He is a repeat rapist and murderer of children and adults alike. He has no regard for human life, not even his own and he remains a danger to all those who have contact with him.

I've been through this debate many, many times over the years, more often than not I've been on your side of the coin. You can argue with me and I'll see and understand your position, but in this particular case, I have no heart or brain tug telling me that perhaps I should think otherwise.
